LOOP’09: Christopher Eamon, algunas frases

C.E: En los años 70 el modelo de difusión televisiva definió la estructura de distribuidoras de vídeo independientes. Video Data Bank y compañía partían del modelo televisivo para llegar a la audiencia. Han pasado los años y podemos decir que, eso de llegar a mucha gente, realmente no funcionó. Sí que existe, en cambio, una estética propia del momento que se relaciona con la propia idea de distribución de vídeo e imagen en movimiento, algo que es reconocible en muchos trabajos artísticos.

C.E: Las distribuidoras de vídeo siguen siendo las mismas que en los 70 o tienen los mismos objetivos. Hasta las mismas personas trabajando en ellas. Si el modelo, basado en la distribución televisiva, no dio los resultados esperados resulta problemático que, ahora que la distribución de imagen funciona de un modo que no tiene nada que ver con aquello, sigamos igual y potenciando estructuras que no son las que deberían ser.

C.E: En estos momentos, encontramos distintos materiales audiovisuales que pueden entrar en el contexto del arte (mediante festivales, primero, selecciones realizadas en la red u otros caminos) pero que en su origen no fueron realizados con una voluntad artística.

A*DESK is a critical platform focused on publishing, training, experimentation, communication and dissemination in relation to contemporary culture and art, which is defined by transversality. The starting point is contemporary art, because that is where we come from and this awareness allows us to go much further, to incorporate other disciplines and forms of thought in order debate issues that are relevant and urgent for understanding our present.
